Divorce
Frankie Santiago
Life Coach, Professional Life Coach
I help men and women navigate divorce and separation with clarity, strength, and practical life coaching support. Whether you’re in the middle of the process or rebuilding afterward, we work on managing emotional challenges, setting healthy boundaries, co-parenting effectively (when applicable), and creating a confident next chapter. My approach emphasizes actionable tools for communication, decision-making, and personal growth so you can move through this transition with greater peace and empowerment. A free 15 minute initial consultation is available—you don’t have to go through this alone.

Divorce, Conscious Uncoupling & Co-Parenting
Navigating Life's Greatest Transition with Purpose and Dignity
Divorce is among the most profound life transitions an individual or family can undergo. Whether you are contemplating exiting a marriage, navigating an active separation, or rebuilding your life post-divorce, the process demands emotional resilience, strategic clarity, and clear-headed decision-making during a time of intense personal stress.
My work in this area is designed to help you navigate the complex emotional, relational, and logistical dimensions of uncoupling—transforming what is often a chaotic process into a thoughtful, intentional transition.
A Rare Blend of Clinical, Forensic, and Lived Experience
Few therapists bring the breadth of perspective to divorce care that I offer. My approach is informed by three distinct pillars:
Forensic & High-Conflict Expertise: Having served as a court-employed Child Custody Evaluator, I have deep insight into the legal, structural, and psychological dynamics of high-conflict family transitions. I understand how family court systems evaluate child wellness, allowing us to proactively protect your children’s best interests.
Clinical Depth: Over decades of practice, I have guided countless adults, adolescents, and couples through every stage of divorce, custody negotiations, and post-divorce adjustment.
Lived Personal Understanding: Having experienced divorce both as a child and later as an adult co-parenting two young daughters, I hold deep empathy for the emotional realities of uncoupling. I know firsthand the profound value of approaching divorce thoughtfully rather than reactively.
Flexible Modalities Tailored to Your Needs
Because every family dynamic is unique, I offer several collaborative structures depending on where you are in the process:
Individual Divorce Coaching & Support: Serving as a confidential, strategic sounding board for one partner—helping you process grief, regulate nervous system stress, communicate effectively, and make clear decisions aligned with your long-term well-being.
Conscious Uncoupling & Mediation Coaching: Working collaboratively with both partners to facilitate an amicable, respectful separation that minimizes legal friction, protects financial and emotional assets, and preserves mutual dignity.
Co-Parenting Alignment & Parent-Child Reunification: Establishing functional, low-conflict co-parenting frameworks, creating clear boundaries, and helping heal or re-establish strong relationships between parents and children following a separation.
Post-Divorce Reconstruction & Redating: Guiding adults through the post-divorce landscape—helping you rebuild identity, re-enter the dating world thoughtfully, and integrate new relationships into established co-parenting structures.
Whether you are seeking to exit a marriage gracefully, protect your children from high conflict, or rebuild an authentic life after divorce, our work provides the strategic clarity and emotional grounding needed to move forward with confidence.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Divorce can bring up a range of emotions, including grief, anger, confusion, and uncertainty about the future. I work with individuals to process these experiences, understand the relational patterns involved, and navigate the transition with greater clarity. Therapy can support rebuilding a sense of self and moving forward in a more intentional and grounded way.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
Dealing with divorce is a difficult and sometimes devastating experience. I help clients challenged by the legal system as they face the divorce process itself and by the psychological difficulties they have to master. I have been studying guilt and self-blame for 30 years as a researcher, teacher, and clinician. Divorce is often accompanied by overwhelming feelings of guilt. Working collaboratively with my clients, using self-compassion and mindfulness, helps to reduce the suffering guilt causes them and allows them to move forward with greater optimism.
